(if you get too frustrated, key is 1:20 to 1:35)
The very short version of the issue is that Japan 
wants the US military out of Japan (including Okinawa). 
So US been doing plenty of work on where to 
site adequate bases near East Asia. 
So far Guam is a leading candidate.
This US Representative talking to the Admiral is PAINFUL! 
Then he goes to worse, clearly saying that he is concerned 
that if we move troops there the island may "tip over, and capsize". 
Sheesh.  I better go back and listen to "Cock eyed optomist" again."

Perhaps has mixed up namesake with the former LPH.... But declassing 
this from "utter idiocy" to "not knowing differences" don't alleviate 
the congresscritter's failure....
ISTR that Arv has once graphically described the cramped conditions 
aboard LPHs and his planned "blue-on-blue" use of the combat knife in 
the case of sinking....
Here in Italy he surely is now winner of the "Tapiro d' Oro" prize..
Best regards from Italy,
Dott. Piergiorgio"

Golden Tapir prize? What lovely notion, what with them looking like pigs 
with a vacuum attachment; a near perfect analogy to a politician."
